Scarecrow: "Pardon me this way is very nice.
It's pleasant down this way, too.
Of course, some people do go both ways."
Certainly, watching the "Wizard of Oz" on TV, sitting on that braided rug in the living room, munching on popcorn and sipping Pepsis on Stevens Avenue always resurfaces fond memories. I must admit the scarecrow, on his search for a brain, was always a character I could identify with in the movie. I like to think it has something to do with my continuing quest for knowledge, while others who know me well might suggest other less lofty reasons. All I know is that it's yet another of these flicks that whenever I cross it I can't help but spend a few minutes with it.
Another of my feeble attempts at recapturing youth?
Who's to say.
Old guy one day.
Youth the next.
Where are we all headed?
Just down the road a piece, I guess.
It's more fun wending one's own way.
ReplyDeleteWatching that movie on TV when I was a kid was the only time my parents let us eat dinner in the living room. I was an adult before I found out that part of it was actually in color!
ReplyDeletesuch philosophical ponderings today.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many scarecrows around, and they don't even look for a brain...
ReplyDeleteWonderful shot! That was one of my favorite movies growing up and now "Wicked" is one of my favorite musicals. Last spring I saw a stage production of "The Wizard of Oz", the original version and it was just as enjoyable as watching the movie.
ReplyDeleteThis is the kind of selfie I could go for! :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a whole lot of hay. Someone must be expecting a long hard winter.
ReplyDeleteMuch better than the usual selfies
ReplyDeleteha, love it!
ReplyDeleteI love the movie too!
ReplyDeleteI have to admit... I can't stand the movie. Mostly because of all of the singing.
ReplyDeleteThat was my favorite book growing up. A girl having an adventure! Cool! That had to keep me going until I discovered Nancy Drew.
ReplyDeleteFun selfie.
